Do some patients heal from rhinoplasty faster than others? Does having thin skin help this?

Asked By:Butttlpy1 in Harrisonburg, VA

I recently had rhinoplasty and have swelling in the tip. I know this is expected and can last several months to 1y. I was told I have very thin skin so Fingers crossed this improves sooner. The doctor had to do a lot of work to the tip of the nose as well as resetting my bones, hump, cartilage grafts, even had a bruised tip! Ever had any lucky thin skinned patients swelling resolve fully in as little as a couple months. How can you tell when the swelling is completely resolved, hardness is gone?
